Lindsey Vonn 'had a feeling' her injury was bad, but still hasn't cried

MILAN — Despite suffering a devastating injury ahead of the 2026 Winter Olympics, the emotions haven't hit Lindsey Vonn.

The decorated Alpine ski racer still plans to compete in her fifth (and final) Olympic Games, even after tearing the ACL in her left knee in a downhill crash on Jan. 30. At a news conference on Tuesday, she shared her initial thoughts when the injury happened, when she learned the diagnosis — and a startling revelation.

"I had a feeling it was bad," Vonn said. "I held out hope until I saw the MRI in front of me.

"But I haven't cried," she added.

Vonn explained she's been able to keep it together because she has been determined to execute her plan of finishing off her Olympic career on her terms, rather than letting the emotions get the best of her.
